How smug should I be, writing this update from beautiful Bradenton Beach, on Anna Maria Island, Florida? We are on a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, at the entrance to Tampa Bay (mid-way down Florida on the Gulf Side). We are enjoying perfect weather (80 every day with a light breeze). The beach, as you can see in the picture below, is gorgeous. So gorgeous in fact, that Edison has tried to devour it. (He's still learning...)
The condo that we are staying at is right on the Gulf, so we have a beautiful view of sunsets and the beach. But we also have a little pool. This is super because the water in the Gulf is only 62, a little chilly for my taste - but Eben did do quite a swim in it this afternoon. Here is Edison commanding his first watercraft. The sun canopy really sold us on this quality model!

Heading south from our condo is a long public recreation area/beach. There is a jogging path that takes you down 1.2 miles to the southern tip of the island - and the playground. Edison is now big enough to enjoy the swings...
...and the pool.
The condo also borders the water on the other side (canal or bay I think they call it). There is a nice lawn, BBQ area, picnic tables and a boat dock. This is Edison's signature move of late - the hand wave. He's almost got "high five" down.
